Police early Monday recaptured twice-escaped convict Alket Rizaj, who
became one of Greece's two most wanted fugitives in February after
escaping with fellow convicted felon Vassilis Paleokostas in a carbon
copy prison break by helicopter from Korydallos prison near Piraeus.

Rizaj was arrested at 7:10 a.m. in a coordinated operation by Security
Police and EKAM special forces police in the town of Ano Souli in
Marathon, northeast of Athens.

The fugitive's hideout was pinpointed by Security Police a few days
earlier and was placed under discrete surveillance.

Rizaj, an Albanian national, was arrested together with his female
companion and another couple, who were all living together in the
hideout.

Police were searching the premises to collect clues and evidence, while
the four detainees were due to be taken to security police headquarters
later in the day.

Paleokostas and Rizaj became Greece's most wanted fugitives for a
second time on February 23 after escaping again by helicopter, in an
unprecedented repeat of their Hollywood-style escape from the same
prison on June 4, 2006 during which they were spirited away from the
courtyard of Korydallos prison near Piraeus, in a spectacular operation
masterminded by Paleokostas' brother Nikos, then a fugitive from
justice.

Vassilis Paleokostas was re-captured on August 2 in Thessaloniki,
northern Greece, and was named by police as the mastermind of the
abduction two months earlier of Federation of Industries of Northern
Greece (SBBE) president and Alumil aluminum industry CEO George Mylonas
outside Thessaloniki, who was later released after his family paid a
hefty ranson.

Rizaj was captured three months after the escape in the coastal village
of Prodromos in Viotia prefecture, while fugitive Nikos Paleokostas was
arrested a few weeks afterwards near Livadia, also in Viotia
prefecture, after years of eluding police capture.

Attica security police investigating the case believe that this second
escape was organized by Rizaj, with money supplied by Vassilis
Paleokostas.

They also said that a key role was played by a 35-year-old woman who
chartered the helicopter from the private Interjet air charter company.
The woman, and her male accomplice, are both believed to be foreign
nationals, possibly Albanian.

The woman, posing as a businesswoman, had approached Interject twice,
chartering a helicopter twice on February 13 and 15, with which she
flew to Itea.

Larissa soccer team's Mexican player Antonio de Nigris died suddenly on
Monday. The 31-year-old striker had been playing for Larissa FC, a
Greek Superleague team, from August 2009, and has also played 17 times
in Mexico's national team.

De Nigris felt unwell in the morning and his wife called an ambulance,
but he died on the way to the hospital. The cause of death will be
announced on Tuesday after the coroner completes his examination.
